Exquisite use of "safety squints" 5:21, They are much more reliable than safety glasses (⁀ᗢ⁀) It looks beautiful and I really like your attention to detail!

We have had this bench kzbin.infoUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg for five years now and it is still holding up strong with minimal signs of wear! So much so that I decided to get another one to store other stuff. The first one is still beautiful, strong and is easy to clean. It’s been in our living room and we store toys and blankets in it and it really holds quite a bit of stuff. I purchased a similar one two years ago from Aldi and let me tell you that one fell apart in less than six months of use. Get this one if you’re looking. Seriously worth it. Five years already and I can’t believe it looks this good and has held up for the price! Awesome bench, the new one I just got is identical.

How has this held up over time? Has to top sagged at all?
@uwo3ryota2 жыл бұрын
It’s been more than 3 yrs since, but no sign of sagging sat all. Kallax itself distributes the weight well.

Is there a risk of it sloping in the middle over time with just the 4 legs? I wanted to do something like this for my sideboard but it's full of heavy stuff and I'm worried about the middle sinking in
@uwo3ryota2 жыл бұрын
I thought about it, and I thought of adding another leg right in the middle. However, it doesn’t get much weight from how we use it and fortunately it hasn’t needed one yet since I made it. I would recommend you to have a hidden one if you are making one though.

Hi, from portugal! How much weight this Old? I mean, can one or two persons seat there with no problem?
@uwo3ryota3 жыл бұрын
No problem so far. All visitors sit on it to put their shoes on (we have No Shoe rule for inside the house). It can take people’s weight just fine.

Would you mind listing the tools and hardware used for this project? I would love to see if I can do this at home. Great video BTW.
@uwo3ryota5 жыл бұрын
thezoexperience1 Thank you. I used a circular saw to rip 2x4 material (old bed frame) into halves to start with using a straight edge. If you have a table saw or buy 2x2 material, that would make your life easier. I used a mitre saw to cut all of them to final length, but normal hand saw would have been fine too. I sanded everything starting from 100 grit down to 180 grit with a palm sander. Hand sanding with sanding block would also be fine too. I used Creg Pocket Hole Jig to make pocket holes hidden sides of beams and attached them with legs using some wood glue (didn’t film the glueing). Having a drill and an impact driver separately would speed up this process. As you can see I then varnished with water based clear satin polyurethane. As Kallax’s panels are hollow inside, so I used flat head screws (not countersink head) came with Creg jig to attach the assembled leg to Kallax panel. On separator panels, I had to make some notches with a countersink bit to cater for heads of the screws. Hope it goes well for you too!

Thank you for your comment. Please refer to the SketchUp files which you can download from the descriptions above. 1. Use a circular saw to rip 2x4 material (old bed frame) into halves to start with using a straight edge. If you have a table saw or buy 2x2 material, that would make your life easier. 2. Us a mitre saw / drop saw to cut all of them to final length. A normal hand saw would have been fine too. 3. Sand everything starting from 100 grit down to 180 grit with a palm sander. Hand sanding with sanding block would also be fine too. 4. Use a Creg Pocket Hole Jig to make pocket holes hidden sides of beams and attach them with legs using some wood glue (didn’t film the glueing). Having a drill and an impact driver separately would speed up this process. 5. Varnish the legs with water based clear satin polyurethane. 6. As Kallax’s panels are hollow inside, use flat head screws (not countersink head) to attach the assembled leg to Kallax panel. 7. On separator panels, make some notches with a countersink bit to cater for heads of the screws. Hope it goes well for you too!

Why so much pain when simply can add leg to it
@uwo3ryota5 жыл бұрын
kirti agrawal Reasons for this design are: 1. I like to make stuff and challenge myself each time. I had to come up with a design with what I had ie free reclaimed pallet wood 2. Kallax is hollow inside the panels (only hexagonal cardboard materials) 3. Legs needed to be away from the sides and the back due to skirting for the our hallway and could not be flush with the sides. There are many other ways of adding legs for sure but this is the way that worked out very well for our household. Please let me know how your version works out if you make one.

Apart from the mindless, annoying background noise (music?) I enjoyed watching you and your young apprentice toiling to improve Kallax. Thanks for sharing.
